Notes About The Poem

I love walking when everyone is asleep and all is quiet. It's then that I communicate with my Maker and receive peace. I tell Him how grateful I am for all His goodness to me and mine. I thank Him for listening to me when I reach out to Him. I thank Him and ask Him to help me become what He intended for me to be.I ask Him for His providence and protection and to protect our environment from our continuous attempts to improve on what He already made perfect. Then I go home refreshed and strengthed to face the day.

The Wee Hours

It's the wee hours of the morning,
And the rain is drizzling down.
It makes the air all fresh and clean,
As I walk the streets of town.

Although July is ending,
It's damp and cold tonight,
And there's no moon to light my way.
The streets are lit by street lights.

A nighthawk calls above me.
An owl greets me here.
A cat scampers across my path.
What else will next appear?

I still feel the quiet peace,
That comes from nightly walks.
Just me and God alone at last,
Accompanied by our dogs.

Jennifer Proxenos August 12, 2023 at 5:29 AM My faithful loyal follower of God and Christ . I 6 yes guess It would be great and the best time to speak to God but in a town is that not dangerous, at night? I love it when i feel God has understood that i thank him all the time for mundane happenings. I feel good also for on a daily basis say sorry to him if i feel what i have said or done wrong in any way. He must be so busy that i am concerned he will think Im petty love and hugs Jennifer! Judy Ball August 12, 2023 at 3:07 PM Thank you so much Jennifer. I agree. Some places are not safe at night even if you are accompanied by a dog. In that case walk your back yard garden. I do that too. It's my favorite place. God Bless, JB

The Situation July 29, 2023 at 1:09 PM Going through problems right now. But I was watching "Anne with an E" on net flix when I got Gods message to me. It was, "be cool don't worry I got cha." tHE OLDER i GET THE MORE hE SPEAKS. But today I really needed a word from Him. It's all in your introduction. Judy Ball July 29, 2023 at 4:35 PM Thank you so much my friend. I have been through many problems but there is nothing that is impossible with God. It may be difficult but not impossible. As w used to say back in the 60's, Hang In There Baby! God Bless, JB
